Ballona Wetland

Located just north of LAX, I didn't think it would exist. It is the last remaining wetland in LA county. As one can only imagine the amount of runoff and trash that end up there from the LA watershed. I am anxious to visit the Ballona Wetland to how healthy the ecosystem there is. I would assume it is comparable to Colorado Lagoon, and much worst quality than Bolsa Chica and Huntington Beach wetlands. So far, I am the most impressed with Newport beach wetland and Bolsa Chica Wetland.

  1. Actually, the ecosystem here at Ballona is amazingly healthy...are there problems? of course, but actually quite a bit of biodiversity and amazing habitat for numerous species. If you'd like a tour, contact: outreach@ballonainstitute.org
